Convocation Information
Spring Semester
Each spring, the Honors College hosts the Honors College Convocation, a formal and personal way to acknowledge the success of graduating seniors each spring semester.
At the ceremony, students wear their commencement robes, and receive their gold stoles and a certificate of achievement. A leading scholar and an Honors College graduating senior are asked to speak.
In the fall, the Honors College recognizes its graduates with an informal graduation celebration, where graduates can receive their stoles and certificates.

During the Fall semester, the Honors College will host an informal, drop-in gathering to recognize our graduating students in Burnham Hall.
The Honors College Dean will award your Honors gold stole and certificate, and there will be an opportunity to take photos if you wish. Due to space limitations, family members are not invited to attend.
